At school
You told a friend to meet at the gate, but you meant the other gate. They waited at the wrong one.
What could you say?
Three things you could say. None of them is the one right answer; each note says why it fits the moment, or why it may not.
Sorry, I meant the back gate. My mix-up. Back gate tomorrow?
A strong fit
It says which gate, owns it, and fixes tomorrow.
Sorry you waited. I got the gate wrong.
Also works here
A sorry with the fact. A plan for tomorrow would finish it.
Say it was their fault for not checking.
Worth a second look
You can. Blaming makes it bigger, not smaller.
What people here usually expect
- Mix-ups about places are common. Saying which one you meant fixes it.
- A short sorry is enough.
- Most friends forget it by the next day.
